It's Christmas time again

I didn't take many pictures of my Christmas adventure this year-for many reasons, but mainly because it wasn't anything really outrageous-just really layed back and nice.

Here are the pretty Colorado Rockies.

Snow covered below a blanket of crisp, blue sky.

We are a 3D family.

We went to see Hugo in 3D in Casper and I had to have a picture of us in our crazy glasses.

Mom, me, Dad, Josh.
I didn't take one single picture of gift times. Oh, well...

Back in Denver with Dad we went to explore downtown as we used to as kids and went to see this giant blue bear (like three stories tall, giant) and had to get a few pictures-they were hard to get because of the size and lack of light.

A totally blurry Josh and Dad in the "crotch" area...ummmm.....
And, I opted to stand near his foot than in the other area. With brother! :)

When I left Denver I really liked these waves of soemthing that I could see-when I got closer I discovered it was thousands and thousands of origami cranes that had been made and mounted in waves in the wall-pretty cool. A picture of the whole thing wouldn't have done it justice-so here is a close up of about 1/100th of the whole display.

And then, Christmas was over. I was back in Portland and back to reality. Though, I am thankful for the restful time I had and I even got to see my best friend from high school, Summer and meet her darling, just over 1yr old daughter, Penny.

I love family and friends.
